"Almost, every word in the Hail Mary Prayer is scriptural"

That is only because each of those words is found somewhere in the Bible, but nowhere together.

"Even if you do not like Mary, you should respect her for being the Mother of the Lord Jesus"

This is not about personalities. There is insufficient information about Mary in the Bible to even form an opinion about her as a person. This is about blatant pagan goddess worship under the guise of respecting the Earthly mother of Jesus, James, Juda, and Simon (her daughters are unnamed).

**This is about blatant pagan goddess worship under the guise of respecting the Earthly mother of Jesus,**

Catholics to not worship the Mother of God, Mary most holy.

Instead, we ask her to pray for us, intercede for us. (Much like she did at the Wedding of Cana for the bride and groom who had run out of wine.)

What did she say after speaking with Jesus, the Lord?

(paraphrasing here) Do as he says.

She redirects everything we ask of her to her Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
